A long-awaited full version of iSpring Online, a new service for sharing any type of eLearning content like presentations, courses and quizzes online has become available starting this December. Now the set of iSpring eLearning tools is completed with a convenient Learning Management System.

1 Our team successfully participated in DevLearn 2009 Expo hosted in a beautiful Fairmount San Jose Hotel 10-13 November of this year.  The event held by eLearning Guild gathered over a thousand of participants. The marketplace Expo was represented by a winning collection of vendors that featured a great variety of tools for eLearning authoring.

We receive a lot of questions from our customers on how to make a list of clickable presentations and have them opened  in a new, current  or a popup browser window on a mouse click. In this post I am going to give you some idea on how to make those links work your way.

box_ispring_onlineThis September, a new 4.3  release by iSpring Solutions appeared, featuring a new service – iSpring Online, a professional eLearning content management solution. It gives you a web-space for hosting and sharing your presentations, as well as providing a new generation LCMS (learning content management system) that allows full reporting and tracking of all activities on your content in every way. You will have access to all kinds of reports, like who views your presentations, what your quiz-takers’ scores are, who is the most active viewer of your content, etc.

Subscribing to an iSpring Online account, allows you a private virtual portal with a unique name, logo and URL-address. You can manage also your audience: create new users, group them and assign the rights to access your content.

In this post I’d like to tell you about a new product by iSpring Solutions, SWiX, www.swixkit.com. It is an XML-based Flash editor for advanced users, Flash programmers and designers.

Imagine a common situation: you are all in all happy with your website design, but there is just little something you want changed like some outdated text or image on your webpage. There is no more need to go back and use the sophisticated tools the website was initially created with, just as you don’t need to rebuild the entire house to cover up a small scratch on its wall. Check out easy-to-use SWiX XML-based editor for SWF that allows any Flash file editing without dealing with its source .fla.

Sometimes nothing can illustrate the subject you are talking about in a presentation better than a video clip. Starting from the 4.2 release of iSpring even the free version of this PowerPoint to Flash software supports YouTube video insertion just as well as embedding videos from your local computer.

And you don’t have to be a computer wizard to do this. Just click YouTube icon on iSpring panel in your PowerPoint and paste a selected YouTube video URL into the appropriate field. To make sure you’re doing it correctly you can watch a tutorial available right in your iSpring YouTube Insert window:

Let’s not think of August as of the end of fun sunny days. School starts, and that’s always the beginning of a new adventure into the exciting world of knowledge. iSpring Team is happy to support “young adventurers” and their guides in their in-school projects.

We have unbelievable offerings for students and teachers of K-12 schools. Site licenses for 200, 500 and even 1000 seats are available for both of our desktop solutions iSpring Pro and iSpring Presenter starting from just $500 USD. That’s just a find for primary and secondary schools.

All it takes to apply for such a license is just emailing a request to and providing one of the acceptable forms of verification. View more at: http://www.ispringsolutions.com/purchase/school_site_license.html

Taking care of your slideshow’s content is dramatically important. But what if you don’t know how? Here I am at your service. In this post I’ll introduce 5 different methods of your Flash movie protection.

Before I start I want to share a 100% secure way: never show your presentation to anybody. :-) This would certainly guarantee that any unauthorized use is completely prevented.

If you are ready for more practicable, but less effective ways, just keep on reading.
